00:00God, he hardly even talks anymore.
00:02Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the cinematic moments that we've rewound repeatedly.
00:08Whether it's for their hilarious details, shock value, or technical achievement,
00:12these are the scenes that we'll happily revisit time and time again.
00:16Beware of the spoilers ahead, however, because we'll be giving away some important story points.
00:30Rocky, anyone who's even casually familiar with movies knows about the training montage.
00:35It's a rapid-fire sequence of clips showing a hero gearing up for the impossible.
00:46Most takes on the sports genre trope can be traced back to Rocky.
00:49The scene follows the underdog boxer as he prepares to face heavyweight champion Apollo Creed.
01:04Gonna Fly Now kicks in as Rocky powers through push-ups, pounds the pavement, and runs through city streets.
01:10It all builds to that legendary sprint up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Arts.
01:14Even if you've never seen the full movie, you've seen this inspiring moment echoed everywhere.
01:18For decades, it has been a go-to spark for motivation and new beginnings.
01:34Number 49.
01:35Mall Name Change.
01:36Back to the Future.
01:37Blink and you'll miss it, but this tiny gag is one of the many things that makes the film so
01:42rewatchable.
01:43Early on, Marty McFly meets with Doc at the parking lot of the Twin Pines Mall.
01:47Uh, Doc, uh, is that a b-ball?
01:49Never mind that now, never mind that now, not now, not now.
01:51He returns to the location after traveling back to 1985.
01:55This time, however, it's now called Lone Pine Mall.
01:58Those who've paid attention know why the name changed.
02:01When Marty initially goes back to 1955, he crashes through Old Man Peabody's farm,
02:06flattening one of his two pine trees.
02:14It's a detail that made fans want to rewind the film and clock the sign change.
02:19Number 48.
02:19Oh My Disney.
02:21Ralph Breaks the Internet.
02:22Few crossover moments have come close to matching this cameo parade.
02:26In the Wreck-It Ralph sequel, Vanellope is dropped straight into Disney's website.
02:30Come on, princesses and cartoon characters, Blaine.
02:35Hey, easy there.
02:37Oh, I mean, no offense or anything.
02:40The screen overflows with so many Easter eggs,
02:43it's practically begging viewers to go back and see how many they can point out.
02:46You might see iconic props like Boo's Door from Monsters, Inc. or Carl's House from Up.
02:51Character-wise, you can also find Rocket Raccoon, Judy Hopps, and Gogo Tamago deep in the background.
02:57That's unauthorized clickbait.
02:58And that's just not a first rewatch.
03:00You'd have to go back several times to spot everything.
03:04Number 47.
03:05Prehistoric Welcome.
03:06Jurassic Park.
03:07Nothing quite prepares you for the moment when something of pure wonder comes into view.
03:11As doctors Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler are driven through Isla Nublar,
03:14they suddenly stop to observe something off-screen.
03:17Alan, this species of variforman's been extinct since the Cretaceous period.
03:21I mean, this thing is about this thing.
03:22What?
03:23What?
03:24The camera tilts up, the music swells, and the character's attention is drawn to what is none other than a
03:29dinosaur standing tall before them.
03:31We're gonna make a fortune with this place.
03:33The scene sells the premise instantly.
03:36Living, breathing miracles, not theme park tricks.
03:39John Williams' score and Richard Attenborough's iconic line delivery cap off the spectacle with pure joy and promise.
03:45Years later, and fans still rewatch the iconic Brachiosaur scene,
03:48and cite it as the gold standard for evoking childlike awe.
03:52Even the sequels were desperate to chase the high that only the original could capture.
03:57Welcome to Jurassic Park.
04:16Number 46.
04:18And then there were two.
04:19The Thing.
04:20You know you've made a cult classic when people still can't decide on what the ending means.
04:25You the only one who made it?
04:27Not the only one.
04:29As the horror whodunit comes to a close,
04:31MacReady and Child sit amid the wreckage of the destroyed outpost.
04:34After all the blood tests, flamethrowers, and shape-shifting paranoia,
04:38the film refuses to confirm if either man is secretly a killer alien.
04:42Well, what do we do?
04:46The video game sequel, endorsed by John Carpenter himself,
04:50shows that neither character was the creature.
04:52Yet many still obsess over other theories,
04:55such as Child's being the thing,
04:57both of them being the thing,
04:58and a supposed eye-gleam theory that proves who's human.
05:01Either way, this quiet standoff proves just how much staying power there is in ambiguity.
05:13Number 45.
05:14Red-Faced Jump Scare.
05:16Insidious.
05:17This shock in broad daylight proves that terror doesn't need darkness to land.
05:21What's happening to Renee is real.
05:24I've seen it for myself.
05:26During a calm kitchen conversation,
05:28a sudden crimson figure appears behind Josh Lambert.
05:35Director James Wan weaponizes silence, cuts, and framing to perfection,
05:40yanking viewers into a jolt that feels a bit unfair.
05:43The reveal also ties directly to the astral nightmare of the further,
05:47and the malevolent presence haunting the family.
05:52Its split-second timing flipped theaters into screams, gasps, and nervous laughter.
05:57Horror fans re-watch it because the scare still hits,
05:59even when you know it's coming.
06:01It's the moment Insidious announces itself as a movie that never lets you feel safe.
06:05I know someone who can help.
06:08If you're willing to ask.
06:11Number 44.
06:12Club Shootout.
06:13John Wick.
06:13Even after so many sequels and spin-offs,
06:16we often come back to this set piece as the one that started it all.
06:23John Wick's Red Circle Club Shootout drops us into a neon-soaked bloodbath.
06:27Keanu Reeves moves through the spa,
06:29dance floor, and locker rooms with icy precision.
06:35The choreography blends gun-fu, judo throws, and point-blank headshots,
06:39all accompanied by a sweet electro-house soundtrack.
06:42It may not be the movie's first action scene,
06:44but it does feel like the moment where the Baba Yaga has truly returned.
06:48The long takes, color, music, and brutality make this an easy scene to revisit.
06:57Number 43.
06:58System Purge.
06:59The Cabin in the Woods.
07:01It's never been more satisfying to watch chaos unfold like this on screen.
07:07After spending most of the run-time watching a facility micromanage every horror trope,
07:12the cages finally open and unleash terror in every form.
07:19Werewolves, ghosts, robots, giant snakes, zombies, a unicorn, and more.
07:24They all get in on the carnage.
07:26Any mythological monster or horror icon you can think of is paid homage to.
07:29Fans keep coming back to catch new creatures,
07:32laugh at the dark humor,
07:33and admire the pure fun in letting the famous monsters wreak havoc.
07:40Number 42.
07:41Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.
07:44The Princess Bride.
07:45You don't need a long explanation to recognize one of cinema's most quotable lines.
07:49When Inigo Montoya finally faces Count Rugen,
07:52the movie's revenge plot explodes into a satisfying end.
07:55Kill the Dark One and the Giant, but leave the third for questioning.
07:59The six-fingered villain, the scarred backstory in that famous introduction,
08:03turn the thirst for vengeance into the film's emotional core.
08:06My name is Inigo Montoya.
08:09You killed my father.
08:11Prepare to die.
08:13As Inigo repeats the line through the pain,
08:16it somehow gets better every time.
08:17Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.
08:20You killed my father.
08:22Prepare to die.
08:23Audiences have probably found themselves mouthing the words along with him on repeat viewings.
08:28It is simple, dramatic, hugely cathartic,
08:31and has proven to stand the test of time.
08:33Number 41.
08:34The First Coin Flip.
08:36No Country for Old Men.
08:37In this scene, Anton Chigurh, played by Javier Bardem,
08:41traps an unsuspecting clerk in some awkward small talk.
08:44Is something wrong?
08:45With what?
08:46With anything.
08:48Is that what you're asking me?
08:50Is there something wrong with anything?
08:52The questions start to get more threatening,
08:54and the silence between the lines rings louder than a gunshot.
08:58He eventually flips a coin and tells the clerk to call it.
09:01I didn't put nothing up.
09:02Yes, you did.
09:04You've been putting it up your whole life.
09:06You just didn't know it.
09:07If we weren't locked in before,
09:09we were absolutely terrified by now.
09:11This simple act became one of the most lean-in moments in all of cinema,
09:15as we slowly realized that a life hinges on pure chance.
09:19Who knew a coin flip could be a tension masterclass that gets people to return again and again?
09:24Well done.
09:27Don't put it in your pocket, sir.
09:29Don't put it in your pocket.
09:30It's your lucky quarter.
09:33Where do you want me to put it?
09:35Anywhere, not in your pocket.
09:37What'll it be mixed in with the others and become just a coin.
09:41Number 40.
09:42Final Duel
09:43Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
09:46The long-running series finally comes to a close at Hogwarts.
09:49After so many sprawling wizard battles,
09:51it all narrows to an intimate duel between Harry and Voldemort.
10:01Throughout the castle grounds,
10:03spells crack like gunfire,
10:04wizards fall to Death Eaters,
10:06and the camera captures every gritty detail in the action.
10:09It all amounts to the moment when Harry deflects the killing curse back at Voldemort,
10:13finally disintegrating the villain who's taken years to defeat.
10:21It's a payoff built on years of setup, grief, and hope.
10:25And it still hits pretty hard.
10:32Number 39.
10:34Docking with the Endurance
10:35Interstellar
10:36This Christopher Nolan hit has plenty of memorable moments.
10:40What are you doing?
10:41Nothing.
10:41The tidal wave sequence kept us on the edge of our seats.
10:45Joseph Cooper watching messages from his adult children is also never not heartbreaking.
10:49The docking maneuver scene, however, is the adrenaline peak.
10:52When the Endurance spacecraft spins out of control,
10:55Cooper risks everything to latch onto it before it's torn apart.
10:58It plays out like 2001 A Space Odyssey colliding with the Death Star Trench Run.
11:03Endurance is hitting stratosphere.
11:04When Nolan's name comes up,
11:06this is often the moment people jump to.
11:09Throw in some unforgettable Hans Zimmer music,
11:11and it is no wonder the scene became instantly iconic.
11:22Number 38.
11:24Caesar Speaks
11:25Rise of the Planet of the Apes
11:27Sometimes it only takes one word to make a scene something truly special.
11:31When the super-intelligent Caesar has had it with human cruelty,
11:34he finally speaks as a first act of defiance.
11:37Take your stinking bar off me, you damn dirty ape!
11:45Whether you've seen the original Planet of the Apes or not,
11:48hearing the chimp speak for the first time made audiences gasp.
11:51The simple statement was so powerful
11:53that it rendered both the human and ape characters speechless.
11:56On top of the writing,
11:57it's Andy Serkis' booming voice and scarily real performance
12:01that make it a classic.
12:02No!
12:08No!
12:10No!
12:11Number 37.
12:12D-Day
12:13Saving Private Ryan
12:14Getting dropped straight into the chaos and horror of World War II
12:18is one hell of a way to open your film.
12:20Stand out of your weapons!
12:22Keep those actions clear!
12:24And we'll see you on the beach!
12:26As bullets tear through Allied soldiers,
12:29Tom Hanks' Captain Miller stumbles through smoke
12:31as everyone tries to make their way to the beach.
12:33It's a portrayal of the invasion that earned the name D-Day.
12:36Nothing is held back as medics scream for morphine,
12:39sounds fade away to a ringing shock,
12:42and soldiers take cover underwater only to learn that nowhere is safe.
12:46The camera shakes and lack of a score only make it feel more immersive and confusing.
12:50Decades later,
12:51and it remains clear that it has influenced the war genre as we know it today.
12:55Come on, Briggs!
12:56Number 36.
12:58Funny How
12:59Goodfellas
13:00After hearing an amusing story from his fellow gangster, Tommy DeVito,
13:03Henry Hill tries to compliment him.
13:05This backfires immediately when he responds,
13:08What do you mean I'm funny?
13:09What do you mean I'm funny?
13:10What follows is a brief yet extremely tense scene.
13:14Long pauses,
13:15nervous stutters,
13:16and a still camera that waits to see if Henry is a dead man.
13:19Well, I'm funny how?
13:20I mean, funny like I'm a clown,
13:21I amuse you,
13:23I make you laugh.
13:24Even when the tension is finally undercut,
13:26we nervously laugh off the moment as if we were sitting at that table ourselves.
13:30Get the f*** out of here, Tommy.
13:32It is constantly quoted and analyzed,
13:34and it captures Scorsese's gift for shifting the mood in seconds.
13:38I wonder about you sometimes, Henry.
13:40You may fold under questioning.
13:44Number 35.
13:46Opening Scene
13:47In Glorious Bastards
13:48Director Quentin Tarantino opens this period piece with a quiet conversation on a farm.
13:53A feeling of dread, however, permeates the entire scene.
13:57Are you aware of my existence?
14:00Yes.
14:01This is good.
14:02Are you aware of the job I've been ordered to carry out in France?
14:09Yes.
14:10Somehow, Hans Landa inflicts milk, a pipe,
14:13and polite small talk on a poor farmer as if it were torture.
14:16As he charms his way through nearly 20 minutes of dialogue,
14:20he eventually tightens his grip.
14:21His arrogant smile fades away
14:23as he reveals that he already knows what the farmer is hiding.
14:26You're sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?
14:35Yes.
14:39You're sheltering them underneath your floorboards, aren't you?
14:45Yes.
14:46It's a captivating scene that not only keeps us in suspense,
14:49it also tells us everything we need to know about our villain.
14:53He is sadistic, patient, and downright despicable.
14:56We will never get tired of watching Oscar winner Christoph Waltz own a scene so well.
15:03Adieu.
15:08This first encounter is legendary for how quickly it made people uncomfortable.
15:20After FBI trainee Clarice Starling walks through an ominous facility,
15:24she is greeted with an unsettling sight,
15:26the cannibalistic Hannibal Lecter,
15:28standing perfectly still in his glass cell,
15:30waiting for her.
15:31Their following conversation proves that he is as shrewd as he is creepy.
15:36Every word from Anthony Hopkins lands like a piece moved on a psychological chessboard.
15:40You use Evian skin cream.
15:45And sometimes you wear lead at home.
15:49But not today.
15:51His direct eye contact and stillness also show just how scary he is.
15:55Even from within a cell, it's clear that Hannibal is in control.
15:59And that chilling power shift is what makes it impossible to look away.
16:03A census taker once tried to test me.
16:05I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
16:14Number 33.
16:16The chase begins.
16:17Mad Max Fury Road.
16:19It's no surprise that one of the greatest action movies of all time is endlessly rewatchable.
16:24From shooting down canyon bikers to the desert brawl for the handgun,
16:27there are plenty of thrilling scenes to choose from.
16:29For our pick, we'll have to go with the start of the chase.
16:37It just has so much going for it.
16:39An army of spiked cars with buzz saws,
16:42war boys with exploding spears,
16:44Max tied up in a dicey position,
16:46Furiosa's badass introduction,
16:48and all the vehicular destruction you could want.
16:53It all culminates in a lightning sandstorm that sends a car into a fiery explosion.
16:58Nux caps off the spectacle by summing up, in his own way, what everyone's thinking.
17:03Oh, what a day!
17:04What a lovely day!
17:06Number 32.
17:07Quint's monologue.
17:09Jaws.
17:09Just when Quint and Matt Hooper are starting to get along on a shark hunt,
17:13the former hits us with a haunting tale.
17:15Didn't see the first shark for about half an hour.
17:18Tiger.
17:19Thirteen-footer, you know?
17:20You know that when you're in the water chief?
17:23You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail.
17:25The old sea captain tells his new friends about the USS Indianapolis,
17:29the real-life warship that left him and hundreds of sailors stranded at sea,
17:33many of whom were devoured by sharks.
17:36Robert Shaw's delivery paints a perfectly terrifying image of sharks,
17:39creatures with lifeless black eyes that roll over white when they bite you.
17:43Sometimes that sharky looks right into you,
17:46right into your eyes.
17:48You know the thing about a sharky's got
17:52lifeless eyes.
17:53Black eyes like a doll's eye.
17:56Given that description,
17:58we can see why he dedicated his life to getting revenge on the ocean predators.
18:02This will always be remembered as the moment that defines Quint
18:05and gives this exciting adventure some life-threatening stakes.
18:08It is endlessly engaging to hear this backstory unfold.
18:11So, 1,100 men went into the war.
18:15360 men come out.
18:17The sharks took the rest.
18:18June the 29th, 1945.
18:21Number 31.
18:23Chestburster.
18:24Alien.
18:25There are moments in cinema so shocking
18:27that you wish you could go back and experience them for the first time again.
18:30This gory moment in Alien is one such scene.
18:33What's the matter?
18:34The food ain't that bad, baby.
18:37When the characters save their crewmate Thomas Cain from an unknown parasite,
18:41they all gather for breakfast on the ship.
18:43Then, out of nowhere, Cain starts to cough.
18:51The crew thinks nothing of it at first,
18:53until he starts to convulse,
18:55which then turns into blood sprays from his chest.
18:58Finally, the baby xenomorph erupts out of Cain and runs off.
19:02The special effects and surprise on the cast's faces
19:05are what make it convincing,
19:07instantly recognizable,
19:08and constantly discussed.
19:10Number 30.
19:10You can't handle the truth.
19:12A few good men.
19:13This military legal drama is gripping from start to finish,
19:16but this scene truly stands out.
19:19Tom Cruise's Lieutenant Caffey questions Jack Nicholson's Colonel Jessup
19:22about an unsanctioned beating, or Code Red,
19:24carried out on Private William Santiago,
19:26which resulted in his death.
19:28Colonel Jessup, did you order the Code Red?
19:31Caffey's intense questioning famously sees him demand the truth from Jessup.
19:35The Colonel's reply is among cinema's most famous movie quotes.
19:39I want the truth!
19:40You can't handle the truth!
19:42He goes on to deliver a villainous tirade,
19:45in which he alludes to the need for illegal acts to uphold the law.
19:48Caffey's persistence even prompts Jessup to own up to ordering the beating.
19:52It is a phenomenal scene,
19:54with acting so impressive from Nicholson that we have to watch it repeatedly.
19:58I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself
20:01to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide,
20:06and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
20:09I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way.
20:12Number 29.
20:13Infiltrating the Vault.
20:15Mission Impossible.
20:16Even people who haven't seen this scene have probably seen something referencing it.
20:20IMF agent Ethan Hunt has to recover a list of undercover agents
20:23from a secure computer at CIA headquarters.
20:36However, to do so,
20:37he needs to dangle from a pair of wires into a room with heat, sound, and pressure sensors.
20:42The scene is dripping with tension throughout,
20:45sometimes literally,
20:46as one wrong move could mean discovery.
20:58It's one of the most masterfully nail-biting suspense scenes out there.
21:02Resisting the urge to watch it again is a truly impossible mission.
21:09Number 28.
21:11Church Fight.
21:12Kingsman the Secret Service.
21:13This scene tends to end up on our lists a lot.
21:16Probably because it's amazing.
21:18Kingsman agent Harry Hart ends up in the church of a religious hate group
21:22while investigating villain Richmond Valentine.
21:24I didn't expect it to be that effective.
21:26What kind of response are we talking about?
21:29100%.
21:30Valentine uses the occasion to test out a frequency in everyone's phones
21:34which turns everyone there hyper-violent, including Harry.
21:37The ensuing action scene is filmed in several continuous takes
21:41that see Harry mowing through the churchgoers with gadgets,
21:44guns, and any other improvised weapon he can lay to hand.
21:51Rewatching this scene is practically essential
21:53if only to catch all the little details in the action.
21:56Oh, and it's an excuse to rock out to Freebird.
21:59Not that you need one, of course.
22:10This Indian historical buddy action movie has many incredible scenes,
22:14but none of them blew up like this one.
22:16The two lead characters,
22:18Aluri Sitaramaraju and Komurambim,
22:20attend a fancy party
22:21where a snobby Englishman ridicules Beam through dance.
22:24Every damn wanker thinks he can dance.
22:28What do you think of yourself, huh?
22:29You country oaf.
22:31However, Ram steps in to defend his bro,
22:35launching into a dance number
22:36where he is soon joined by Beam
22:37and eventually the rest of the guests.
22:39Quite apart from having a toe-tappingly catchy song,
22:42the dance itself is phenomenal.
22:51I've had enough of this nonsense.
22:53You two, out!
22:55The choreography is incredible
22:56and has to be seen multiple times to be believed.
22:59Ram throws the contest to help Beam,
23:01but the competition to see who can view this scene the most
23:03is still ongoing
23:05and has hundreds of millions of players.
23:13Number 26,
23:15The Black Knight,
23:16Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
23:17An all-time classic British comedy,
23:20Monty Python and the Holy Grail
23:21has more re-watchable moments
23:23than you can shake a coconut at.
23:24And yet,
23:25it's this scene that arguably keeps us coming back the most.
23:38King Arthur stumbles across a lone knight in black
23:41guarding a small bridge.
23:42When the knight refuses to move,
23:44Arthur engages him in battle.
23:46After cutting off one of his arms,
23:48Arthur believes he's won.
23:49However,
23:50The Black Knight is not finished.
23:52In fact,
23:53even losing several more of his limbs
23:54doesn't deter him.
23:56What are you gonna do?
23:56Bleed on me?
23:57I'm invincible!
23:59You're a loony.
24:01The Black Knight always triumphs!
24:04How about you?
24:05The cartoonish violence
24:06and back and forth
24:07between the knight and Arthur
24:08is comedic gold.
24:09Call us a loony for loving it,
24:11but we cannot stop re-watching this scene.
24:13Come, Patsy!
24:15Oh, oh, I see.
24:16Running away, eh?
24:18You yellow bastards!
24:20Come back here
24:21and take what's coming to you!
24:23I'll bite your legs off!
24:25Number 25.
24:26Bank Robbery Shootout
24:27Heat
24:27Like the film itself,
24:29this sequence is straight fire.
24:31Neil McCauley and his gang
24:32have just robbed a bank
24:33and believe they've gotten away clean.
24:35However,
24:36the police are waiting for them
24:38and a gun battle soon erupts
24:39on the streets of Los Angeles.
24:45What follows
24:46is one of the most visceral
24:47and suspenseful shootouts
24:49in movie history.
24:50There's no music.
24:51The gunshots aren't muffled.
24:53It's uncomfortably realistic
24:55yet powerfully magnetic.
25:05Most of Macaulay's men
25:07and many policemen
25:08and bystanders are killed.
25:09As terrifying as this would be
25:11to experience in real life,
25:12it is a scene
25:13we can't help
25:14but be gripped by.
25:26Number 24.
25:28The Crazy 88
25:29Kill Bill Vol. 1
25:30Quentin Tarantino movies
25:32have no shortage
25:33of rewatchable scenes.
25:34Our pick for the most rewatched one
25:36goes to the bride's battle
25:37against the Yakuza bodyguards
25:39The Crazy 88.
25:40The Bride faces dozens
25:41of gang members
25:42in a tea house.
25:43The wirework style
25:44and over-the-top gore
25:45pay tribute to martial arts films
25:47of the past.
25:55But it also feels distinctly Tarantino
25:58with touches like the eclectic soundtrack
26:00and what can only be described
26:01as breakdancing with katanas.
26:03It's filmed brilliantly too
26:05alternating between color
26:06and black and white
26:07while also featuring
26:08an entire section filmed
26:10with silhouettes
26:10against blue light.
26:17This fight is nearly
26:1810 minutes of
26:19non-stop bloody action
26:20and we have
26:21a rip-roaring good time
26:22every time we watch it.
26:28Number 23.
26:29Andy's Escape
26:30The Shawshank Redemption
26:32Prisoner Andy Dufresne
26:33looks to be
26:34at his lowest point
26:35yet when the audience
26:36is expecting him
26:37to be dead in his cell
26:38he is nowhere to be found.
26:40Instead,
26:41The Warden's Angry Tantrum
26:42exposes that Andy
26:43escaped his cell
26:44by chiseling through a hole
26:45hidden behind a poster.
26:58Morgan Freeman's
26:59iconic narration
27:00takes us through
27:00Andy's entire escape process
27:02which takes years.
27:03Andy crawled to freedom
27:05through 500 yards
27:07of shit-smelling foulness
27:08I can't even imagine.
27:10Andy's escape
27:11through a sewage pipe
27:11may make us gag
27:12at the thought
27:13but when he raises
27:14his hands in triumph
27:16as the thunder
27:16and lightning crash
27:17and the music swells
27:18we can't help
27:19but cheer him on
27:20every time we rewatch.
27:32Number 22.
27:33Opening Adventure
27:34Raiders of the Lost Ark
27:36The beginning of the
27:37Indiana Jones series
27:38sees the titular character
27:39in search of a golden idol
27:41in Peru.
27:42Andy must overcome
27:43deadly traps
27:43creepy animals
27:44and treachery
27:45from his guide
27:46to recover the prized artifact.
27:53Practically every part
27:54of this opening scene
27:54is iconic.
27:55Each one of the traps
27:56from the spikes
27:57to the darts
27:58to the giant boulder
27:59have all become
28:00staples of pop culture.
28:01And that shot
28:02of him switching
28:03the idol
28:03lives in our heads
28:04rent-free.
28:12It is beautifully filmed
28:14funny and exciting.
28:16Indy's first adventure
28:17is pulpy action
28:18distilled to its very essence
28:20and we cannot get
28:21enough of it.
28:22This scene belongs
28:23in a museum
28:24it's that good.
28:25Dr. Jones
28:26again we see
28:27there is nothing
28:28you can possess
28:29which I cannot take away
28:31and you thought
28:32I had given up.
28:33Number 21.
28:34Ride of the Rohirrim
28:35The Lord of the Rings
28:36The Return of the King
28:38The Lord of the Rings
28:39films are loaded
28:40with rewatchable scenes
28:41but this is one
28:43fans return to
28:44again and again.
28:45Just as things
28:46look their darkest
28:47during the siege
28:47of Gondor
28:48horns sound in the distance.
28:50The cavalry has arrived.
28:58The riders of Rohan
29:00crest the hill
29:01and see the massive
29:02orc army surrounding
29:03the city before them.
29:04King Theoden
29:05delivers an epic speech
29:06that is somehow
29:07both grim and uplifting
29:08rattling his men's
29:10spears as he goes.
29:11Arise!
29:12Arise riders of Theoden!
29:15Spears shall be shaken!
29:17Chills shall be splintered!
29:20A sore day!
29:22A red day!
29:24Ere the sun rises!
29:28And then
29:29they all charge
29:30screaming death
29:31at the top of their lungs.
29:33The music
29:33incredible scope
29:35performances
29:35and effects
29:36all culminate
29:37in a legendary scene
29:38that gives us chills
29:39every time we see it.

29:58Jack's death
29:59Titanic
30:00given how much
30:01the movie made
30:02at the box office
30:03it's probably fair
30:04to say that Titanic
30:05is one of the most
30:06rewatched movies
30:06of all time
30:07regardless of
30:08specific scenes.
30:09but when it does
30:10come two specific scenes
30:11that one at the end
30:13with Leonardo DiCaprio
30:14hanging on to the door
30:15has got to be one of them.
30:17Stay on it!
30:18Stay on Rose!
30:20And sure
30:21there are many of us
30:22who'll rewatch it
30:23for the emotional impact
30:24of Jack giving his life
30:25to save Rose.
30:26But if we're being honest
30:28most of us
30:29have gone back
30:29to that scene
30:30in order to determine
30:31if we think
30:31both parties
30:32could have survived
30:33on the floating piece
30:33of wreckage.
30:47While there may be
30:49some debate
30:50as to whether gentlemen
30:50really prefer blondes
30:52or not
30:52there's no question
30:53that gentlemen
30:54prefer Marilyn Monroe
30:55one of the greatest
30:56movie stars
30:57of all time
30:58Monroe continues
30:59to be a cultural
31:00phenomenon today

31:02since her passing

31:12Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
31:14Diamonds

31:22best friend
31:27Madonna seemed
31:28to think so too
31:29and even paid homage
31:31to the scene
31:31in her 1985 video
31:33for her song

32:54I'll be okay
32:55but Williams
32:56proved throughout
32:57his career
32:57that he could
32:58also make us cry
32:59one of his first
33:00forays into drama
33:01was the great
33:021989 film
33:03Dead Poets Society

33:25for his character

33:26that final scene
33:27that much more
33:28powerful
33:28when those students

34:40when the blair witch project
34:41was released
34:42many thought the movie

35:11needed to buy into it
35:13for the movie to succeed
35:14and boy did it ever
35:15as much as the scene
35:17was rewatched
35:17following the film's release
35:18it was probably rewatched
35:20just as much online

35:35Alfred Hitchcock's
35:36Psycho has many
35:37memorable moments
35:38with maybe the most obvious
35:39being the shower scene
35:44that is a moment
35:45that's been rewatched
35:46for decades
35:47by not only fans
35:48but filmmakers
35:49and film historians
35:50analyzing and breaking down

36:31rewatched movie scenes ever
36:32but what's interesting about it
36:34is the evolution
36:35of its rewatchability
36:36It's carol singers
36:38Give him a quid
36:39and tell him to bugger off
36:40Originally
36:41it was generally referenced
36:43as one of the most

36:46with romance
36:46Mark's declaration

36:53for love
37:12However
37:12in the last decade or so
37:14the prevailing view
37:15of the scene has changed

37:32The Usual Suspects
37:33Spoiler alert
37:34the movie came out in 1995
37:36but if somehow
37:37you've managed to avoid
37:38knowing the ending
37:39of The Usual Suspects
37:40for almost 30 years now
37:41you might want to skip this one
37:43and go watch the movie

37:46and tell me everything
37:47You know back when I was

37:49Where's your head Agent Kujan?

37:52Think back
37:53I'm sure you've heard
37:54many tall tales
37:55Okay, now can the rest of us
37:56talk about how awesome
37:57that twist was?
37:58Along with the revelation

38:02of all the random items
38:03around the LAPD office
38:04that he used
38:05when crafting his story
38:06and the characters therein
38:07The first time you see it
38:09it's amazing

38:11to be rewatched
38:12with eyes wide open
38:13in an effort
38:13to even better
38:14connect all the dots
38:26Is Leonardo DiCaprio's character
38:28in the real world
38:29or in a dream
38:30at the end of Inception?
38:31Something you once knew
38:32But this world is not real
38:38Well, the only way
38:39to know for sure
38:39is to see if that spinning top
38:41stops or continues
38:42to spin indefinitely
38:43But the problem is
38:45the movie cuts out
38:46before we can see it fall or not
38:47Or does it?
38:53Given the importance
38:55of that moment
38:55many have gone back
38:57and watched
38:57and rewatched
38:58those final seconds
38:59in an effort
39:00to determine the top's fate
39:01Is it leaning
39:02just a little
39:03as if about to hit the table?
39:05There are those
39:06who swear this is the case

40:03emotionally charged bout
40:04in Captain America Civil War

41:04It's the stunt's
41:05insane danger factor
41:07however that has us
41:08replaying it so much
41:09and considering Jackie Chan's
41:11burns and injuries

41:44in time with a digital beep
41:49Though it requires repeat viewings
41:51to properly spot this quick easter egg
41:53fans developed theories
41:54that it was a satellite
41:55JJ Abrams actually confirmed this idea
41:58as part of a tie-in with the movie's
42:00viral marketing campaign
42:01However Abrams also left the door open
42:03for the theory that the dot
42:04was potentially the escape pod
42:06from the end of the Cloverfield paradox
42:07JJ Abrams and his fans
42:09have inadvertently encouraged
42:11even more replays of the shot too
42:13thanks to the arguments they've built around it

42:47their fight has more iconic pop culture characters
42:50than you can spot in one try
42:51While fighters from Overwatch and Halo
42:54appear right in front of the camera
42:55it's easy to miss Battletoads, Gremlins
42:57and even He-Man in the chaos
42:59The fast camera movements and wide shots
43:01make it hard to notice the likes of Sonic
43:03or the mech from Aliens too
43:05and despite plenty of overt Terminator
43:08and Child's Play references

43:53Though people have different ideas of what's said
43:55Director Sofia Coppola insists it's only meant for Bob and Charlotte to know
44:00Nevertheless, this quiet farewell still has fans perplexed to this day

44:20In his supernatural thriller
44:21A company named ConSec is demonstrating their new psychic scanner agents
44:25with a live mind reading
44:26Surprisingly, the volunteer is actually a much stronger scanner
44:30who gives the presenter a fatal headache
44:37The brutal carnage of the effect looks so real
44:40that you have to see it a few times to be sure it's fake
44:42Plus, the blast and music cap off the scene so intensely
44:46that you'll likely go back again just to appreciate how amazingly this violent moment plays out

45:06So, Morpheus is kidnapped when he tries to fight against it
45:09As Neo and Trinity head into a building to save him
45:12They send the whole ground floor into a flurry of bullets and gymnastics
45:15The flips and kicks are stunning to watch
45:18Especially the debris flying around everyone
45:21Shit!
45:26The propeller head song spy break truly amps up the energy as well
45:29Neo's back bending dodges are certainly visually striking
45:32But the clever blend of film speeds enhances the action more
45:36The slow motion also means you won't miss much in the scene
45:39But it's such a high octane moment that you'll want to rewatch it anyway

46:17The over the top posing from actress Phoebe Cates
46:20and some mist enhance the sexual fantasy aspect of this dream
46:23appealing to viewers just as much as Brad
46:25While the lesbian pool scene in Wild Things is progressive and steamy
46:29Fast Times ups the ante with a bikini drop
46:32and frankly it's difficult not to revisit Cates slow motion strutting
46:36thanks to the sensual filmmaking behind it

48:16Second viewing on the other hand shows the hit
48:19And the actor comically fixing his mask as well

48:25By giving the hit a loud sound effect
48:27With the charm that this goof adds to the movie
48:30It's no wonder that fans still re-watch this hilarious cinematic accident
